Luckily she felt a lot better after. We felt kind of bad about this since it was really her first time out at sea with us, and we tried to tell her that the waves are not usually rough like this. Usually they are really calm. We've even seen people waterski behind their boats. But that was in France. Maybe Italy is different.
On our way to the Cinque Terre we decided to stop by Portifino which was highly recommended to us by a few people that we've talked to in Italy.
Portifino is a small fancy port that was made famous in the 50's when National geographic did a story on it.
Since then famous people have been buying houses there and it's become a popular and expensive place to stop. We decided just to stop for a few hours for lunch, so we pulled up to this fancy place...with throw up in the back of our boat.
Portifino was beautiful.
We walked around a little while and then were sitting down to lunch when a man walked over and told us that had to move our boat because it was in a reserved spot. But he was pretty nice about and said that we could finish our lunch and look around since we weren't planning to stay long anyway.
After lunch we walked around through the streets and up to the top of the hill where there is a little yellow church and a graveyard behind it.
We wanted to stay longer but we still had a long ways to go. When we finally arrived at the Cinque Terre we were thinking about docking in Vernazza but when we got closer we could see that the entrance to the port looked narrow and shallow and with this rough water it probably wouldn't be a good idea.
So instead we headed to a bigger port just south of the Cinque Terre in La Spezia.
